Summary

Rob, Rowan, and Sean Sands fulfill our listeners' requests by taking a deep dive on the newest expansion for EU4: Common Sense. The latest DLC (and associated free update) brings notable changes to the game's systems. Are they all for the better? Should this be called EU5?

Credit for the episode title goes to listener @semitext, who angers me by coming up with something as good as "EU4ever" before I could.
